Because the pinhole camera only had one exposure of the Idaho Potato.

The one pic that exists is a radar image, taken over a year ago, probably during its previous (not very) close encounter with Earth. The reason it was even practical is that the rock is a quarter mile across. Tuesday will probably find us lousy with new pictures, including in the optical spectrum.
